Integration of Energy/Sustainable Practices into Standard Army MILCON Designs: Energy and Sustainability Study

摘要

The Army Corps of Engineers has been tasked with determining the building features construction methods and materials that will optimize energy reduction and sustainability for new construction standard designs in FY13 for five Army building types: Barracks, motor pools, Brigade HQ, dining facilities, and Company Operation Facilities. At a minimum, the selected standard designs must meet all applicable energy reduction and sustainable design mandates (e.g., LEED Silver, EPACT 2005, EISA 2007, EO13423, and EO13514). Specific targets include: Plan Army community to be net zero ready, 65% energy reduction (ASHRAE 90.1 2010), 30% domestic hot water reduction, 50% waste water reduction and 25% operating cost reduction. Cost estimates based on building type and climate zones that identify the delta between current construction costs and optimized building designs are also included. This presentation is a summary of that effort, potential impact on all future MILCON construction, and next steps.
